Taylor Swift And Kendrick Lamar Lead 2016 Grammy Awards

Pop star Taylor Swift opened the 58th annual Grammy Awards with a performance of her current single and helped close the show with her album-of-the-year win for "1989", but the ceremonies held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday were an egalitarian affair that spread the Grammy wealth to a wider, more diverse group than in some years past.

"Girl Crush" won songwriters Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey and Lori McKenna best country song and Little Big Town best country duo/group performance.

The blues-rock quartet Alabama Shakes also won big with four honors, including best rock song for "Don't Wanna Fight" and best alternative music album for "Sound & Color". He won best rap performance and best rap song prizes with "Alright", as well as best rap album award for "To Pimp A Butterfly".

He will discuss MyShake and other quake early warning systems during a scientific session on Friday, Feb. 12, 10-11:30 a.m. UC Berkeley is also part of larger efforts involving US Geological Survey to develop early warning quake systems.

Newcomer Chris Stapleton snagged two Grammys, best country album for Traveller and country solo performance for its title track.

D'Angelo and the Vanguard's Black Messiah received the Best R&B Album title and its song "Really Love" was declared Best R&B Song.

In 2010, Swift also made history when she won Album of the Year for Fearless, becoming the youngest artist to take the prize as the album was recorded when she was 20. It will feature tributes to David Bowie, B.B. King, the Eagles' Glenn Frey, Natalie Cole, Lemmy Kilmister and Earth, Wind & Fire's Maurice White.

Who will win the race? He walked into the Grammys with the most nominations - 11. I was a Grammy voter for quite a few years, and a member of what is now called a "special nominating committee" for one of the specialized categories of certain Grammy awards. The Grammys announced that Earth, Wind & Fire will receive one of its Lifetime Achievement Awards at a separate ceremony in the spring. Despite its massive commercial success, 25 wasn't eligible for Grammy consideration this year, because it came out in November; only albums released between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015 were considered.
